Inside-Out built on the momentum of previous JMGA conferences and explored jewellery and object making inside the Australia, Asia and Pacific regions and outside the conventions of mainstream practice.

The conference brought together practitioners, educators, collectors, critics and cultural theorists for three days of discussion, debate, interaction and the exchange of ideas.

Speakers included: Grace Cochrane, Julie Ewington, Marian Hosking, Professor Seung Hee Kim, Dr Kevin Murray, Dr Christine Nicholls, Robert Reason, Dr. Damian Skinner and more.

The accompanying exhibition program presented over 20 exhibitions across Adelaide and South Australia and showcased the work of local, national and international artists. Exhibition venues included the Art Gallery of South Australia, JamFactory Contemporary Craft and Design, South Australian Museum, Light Square Gallery - Adelaide Centre for the Arts, Flinders University Art Museum City Gallery, Zu Design, The National Wine Centre and many more. The exhibitions were a great success with attendance estimated at 11,870.

A series of workshops were held before and after the conference at the South Australian School of Art - University of South Australia, JamFactory Contemporary Craft and Design and TAFE SA Adelaide Centre for the Arts.

With lawn bowls, exhibition openings, a cocktail party, suitcase sale and performance art the conference was a packed and eventful program.
